Re: Plant Sale Volunteers

[laura wyper <laurawyper@yahoo.ca>]

Hello Everyone,

We need more Clean North Volunteers!
So far we have:
 Jack and Laura helping Monday night with bringing things up from the basement and Laura will make an inventory list [except Don's Trees I think??]

Wednesday -Peter and Laura hauling to the Church

Friday ????SET UP  ***we need someone here

Saturday -Katie from 8-12 
**we need someone else here with Katie who can be there at 7:15 a.m.**

-Peter to haul back materials to the office after the event [and perhaps an hour at the booth]

Again I am sitting at another table with no one to trade off for the whole event and need to set it up /go early etc. for it....So hopefully I'll hear from others soon!! :)

Cheers!
Laura
